Okay, so bear with me here because I know next to nothing of the NFL. Aside from what everyone knows, and what I learned (and assume to be 100% accurate) from the show Ballers. We all know the Patriots are ridiculous like the Yankees are ridiculous, right? In the sense that it is f-cking ridiculous … More Showing Up Like
Last summer I made a decision. It was shortly after the murder of George Floyd. For years, my way of dealing with people who had different oppinions than I did, was to smile and nod. I just didn’t want to get into it. I didn’t want to talk politics, I didn’t want to talk about … More Acting On
When I was a kid living in Minneapolis, if my mom needed something while she was cooking or baking, I’d take her cash and walk or bike the three blocks to the 7/11. Upon my return I handed over the groceries and some of the change. “This is all the change?” she’d ask, looking confused. “Yep,” … More In Truth
This past year has been a lot. There is nothing profound I can say here that hasn’t been said already, am-I-right? I hit a wall with COVID in early December. Christmas is my favorite thing in the whole world. I love ALL things Christmas. If I’m feeling down, even in July, I will listen to … More When the Magic is Gone
I’ve long felt that you get what you put out to the Universe. The more joy you experience and push out, the more joy comes back your way. You put out a ton of negativity, your experience will be rather negative. This is not rocket science. What comes with age – at least for me … More Reflections
That’s what I would have said if someone asked me six months ago if I’d ever go to work, arrive at a meeting, or go anywhere aside from running errands or the gym without a full face of makeup on. I know you know where this is going. The first time it happened, Zoom Without Makeup (ZWM), … More Not in a Million Years
Yesterday I was sitting in my home office for the billionth day in a row and I hit a f-cking wall. I’ve seen enough LinkedIn headlines to know that I’m not alone in this but everything was so far past annoying I just couldn’t. I do LinkedIn, Instagram, and sometimes Twitter. Those are my only … More Take the Power Back
The thing about sheltering in place, for months, is that you go through stages. Once you’ve gotten through the grief over the end of the world as we know it, and you’ve watched every season of every show ever, and you’ve attempted art project after art project (while secretly hoping you’ll discover some thus far … More Hatched
A month ago, before any of us had any idea what was coming our way, we were doing life like we normally do – but times eleven. We were going to volleyball tournaments every weekend for both of our girls, we were both incredibly busy at work, my husband continued to study for exams required … More Fever Pitch
My girls often reference friends of theirs that live elsewhere. “So and so is doing this…” we’ll ask who that is, and they say “oh he lives in Washington.” Or “she’s my friend from Maryland.” Their networks are large and expansive – carefully cultivated digitally. Their worlds are made up of TikTok, SnapChat, and Instagram … More Made for This
